There were not a lot of B-66 kits. There was the old Monogram and a much later Italeri. Maybe Atlantis will bring out the Monogram kit again.

Considering that deck-edge elevator is just forward of amidship, and that is the emergency arresting barrier laying flat on the deck, he appears to be trying to regain airspeed after missing all of the arresting wires.This doesn't look good, if he made that it was his lucky day.
A U.S. Navy McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee (BuNo 126434) of Fighter Squadron 141 (VF-141) "Iron Angels" clearing the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Randolph (CVA-15) after a wave-off. VF-141 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 14 (CVG-14) for a deployment to the Medterranean Sea from 3 February to 6 August 1954.
F2H-3 126434 was sold to the Royal Canadian Navy on 2 July 1956. It crashed near Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia (Canada), on 16 June 1961 while practicing aerobatics. The pilot was killed.
In my post about the UK F-4Js there is mention of the F-4S upgrade of the F-4Js... and that they got new engines.Yep! Forgot the absence of smoke as a positive. The Skyflash also came with tweaks to the radar as well. It was a better missile than the Sparrow, on which it was based. Years ago I met someone who worked on the F-4's radar and avionics at BAe Systems, formerly Ferranti at Crewe Toll in Edinburgh who told me a bit about the mods between the two. Interesting stuff.
I see the article comments on the "smokeless" variant of the J79.Here's the gen from 1985 Royal Air Force Yearbook
Yes - only 1 naValized Jag built.Naval variant test of the Jag on the Clémenceau carrier (R-98, then Q-790). Dassault pulled the strings to have the more expensive Super Etendard adopted in place.
Not a rectal exam, but a Thor IRBM being loaded into a C-133, possibly for transport from California to its deployment location in the UK. Note the sign that indicates it was at Clover Field airport, which was near the Douglas production facility. I think that mainly C-124's were used for those flights. I was the last USAF program manager for the Thor.

NA B-45 in RAF hands
Flew over Soviet Union at least twice. They flew back to the United States in RAF markings. Lest we forget
